Hey SOMA Fabrications, hope you're "listening". Better make good on your products. I was contemplating on getting a SOMA frame, glad I didn't, yet.

sounds terrible. not that i was thinking of buying a soma, but i know i won't buy one in the future. the one guy that defends soma on that thread makes it sound like the frame broke because of how hard it was being riden. correct me if i'm wrong (perhaps don walker could weigh in here), but i wouldn't expect steel to break unless it was crashed. a frame breaking along the seat stay or chain stay sounds like defective tubing or welding. anything is possible though.....
on the flip side....the guy has access to a powder coater but doesn't want a black or gray bike?! damn...if i had access to one of those, i'd be buying extra bikes just so i could paint them!

frames will break. i'm sure even the "best" companies
have had frames fail on customers. yeah, it sucks that
they didn't paint it, that was definately bad on their part.
i've had no problems with my rush and i haven't heard
of anyone who has had a problem with the rush. (this is
a road frame i presume)
anyways, i think its funny that one guy's frame breaks
and people start writing in this forum, 'oh, i won't buy
those damn soma frames now'. that doesn't seem to
happen in the case of good old crack-n-fail.

Haha I just bought a SOMA to ride across Canada. Hopefully it won't fall to pieces so I become victim of bad customer service!
